Moon landing wallpapers

Postby Kevin Thomas Riley » Mon Jul 20, 2009 7:13 pm

Using some hi-res NASA images I've made some wallpapers from the Apollo 11 mission I thought I'd share.

Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

The image that always grips me is the one of earth seen from the moon. Our world looks so small! And in the vastness of the universe, I guess it is. :neutral:
Working on a major fan fic project. Two-thirds done. Hope to put it up in the not TOO distant future.

That's my favorite, too, although the one with the rocket going past the flag is pretty awesome as well.

Thanks, KTR, for sharing!

And since I've gone Apollo crazy I went ahead and made some Apollo 12 wallpapers as well. Too bad that Bean and Conrad only used the black & white film for their second EVA when they went to the Surveyor probe.

The Apollo Image Library is a good source for hi-res pictures. And another great source for original hi-res images is The Project Apollo Image Gallery :thumbsup:

Ok, I'm new here (just signed on about a day ago, LOL) but want to say a hyowj THANK YOU for sharing these pics.

Makes everyone feel small, I suppose - but also makes you realise it's not all doom and gloom.

THANK YOU.

Yes! What does your name mean? I HATE not to be able to find any suitable image for a warm welcome! :bitch:
That said... WELCOME HERE! :D :D :D :D :D :D

For obvious reasons, not many pictures to make wallpapers from Apollo 13.

You can see flight director Gene Kranz with the cigar in the last pic.
